SEANA CARMODY
(Kimchee
Records)
Throughout the '90s, Seana Carmody sang and played guitar in one of
the seminal cult bands of the decade, the Boston-based Swirlies, whose
mixture of dreamy, shoegazing guitar pop and wild sonic experimentation
earned them a small but extremely devoted core audience. She also briefly
fronted Syrup USA, whose fantastical style of pop-rock borrowed from
new wave and prog. Carmody contributed a solo track, "Crystallized Your
World," to In My Living Room, Kimchee Records' appealing collection
of gentle pop songs intended for living room enjoyment. Her solo album
will be released this summer on Kimchee
Records.

THE TARDY
The Tardy was born in the year 2000, when Jef Czekaj, looking to expand
upon the 4-track, sample-heavy songs he had been writing and recording
for several years, teamed with friend Steph Melikian to form a guitar
and drums indie rock duo. Combining Jef's melodic, chimey guitar playing,
Stephıs muscular drumming, and dueling vocal harmonies.

The Tardy play pop songs stripped to their core. With the most basic
of tools and without layers of sound to hide behind, Jef and Steph create
songs that youıll find yourself singing in the shower days after hearing
them, songs that beg to be put on mix tapes. They have been compared
to the Violent Femmes, the Spinanes, "pre-pretense R.E.M," and the Boston
Phoenix has called the songs "Hate-Your-Friends era Lemonheads as recorded
by the Elephant-6 pixies."
